What’s on MY Plate?

One of my favorite foods is plain yogurt. It goes oh so well in baked goods. And with fresh fruit and granola? Delish! I also like it plain, drizzled with maple syrup. It makes the perfect breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

Recently, I made this yogurt parfait with all of the above: fresh blueberries, plain yogurt, homemade granola, and that sweet drizzle of maple syrup.

It had been a busy day of cooking and I was finally going to put my feet up. I had this pretty “staged” photo all set up, but I thought since this is all about “real meals,” I show ya exactly how it was served — on the couch, in my lap, with my feet curled up beneath me.

That apron makes a pretty good back drop, don’t it?

Needless to say, it was a great lunch and a tasty pick-me-up.

I haven’t had breakfast yet, those brownies look so good! Thank you for hosting. This week I shared a new chicken recipe. The sauce was good, but I was so hungry I didn’t let it reduce enough. Next time I’ll be more patient.

That looks yummy! I had to have a treat today too. I am 35 weeks pregnant with #2, and #1 is currently a snotty, runny-nosed little toddler who didn’t sleep very well. So Mama made a Decaf Mocha Frappuccino as a naptime treat.
